Changing your thermostat to one that is a few degrees cooler would allow the car to run a little cooler (but if the problem is not just a "normally hot" running car, then all you are doing is covering up the problem cause, by another means.
IS.. if your WP impellar is cracked, the car will run hotter, because there is less surface area to move the coolant... installing a lower temp thermo there wouldn't ACTUALLY fix it.. (I know you understand, but I was writing this out for future readers to stumble across.....)
Anyway.. it IS true that they make different temp ranges for thermostats, and it is relatively easy to do.. seperate the t-stat housing from the hose, and then do the swap-er-roo... easy as pie...
